Lexical word processing is unaffected by rapid invisible frequency tagging in reading
The aim of this study was to test whether rapid invisible frequency tagging (RIFT)—a promising tool to directly measure covert attention allocated to parafoveal words—affects lexical processing during natural reading. RIFT involves flickering the background of the target word(s) at an imperceptible frequency (≥60 Hz), but imperceptibility does not necessarily equate to the absence of a cognitive effect. The current study examined the potential im…
Do We Have Your Attention? Tracking Eye Movements and Assessing Viewer Preferences during Television Weather Warnings
Understanding how viewers process severe weather warning messages is crucial for designing alerts that enable viewers to take protective action. We used eye tracking to monitor attention to mock chyrons [i.e., television (TV) graphics displaying warning messages] that systematically varied in visual complexity and carried out qualitative interviews to gather information about participants’ design preferences for the displays. Dwell-based analyses…

Evaluating Technical and Technological Innovations in Sport
This article explores the method of 'reflective equilibrium' as a possible decision-making method for the rational evaluation of technical and technological innovations in sporting practices. I use the recent change to the way male tennis players are seeded at the Wimbledon championships to illustrate that although fair play comprises an important part of any evaluation, it only takes us so far. I discuss critically the objection that 'wide refle…
Role models’ among elite young male rugby league players in Britain
There is a taken-for-granted acceptance that sports stars have responsibilities as ‘role models’, yet the concept of a ‘role model’ is unclear. The present study addressed the choice of ‘role models’ amongst elite young British rugby league players, and the reasons for their choices. During the summer of 2002 under-13 and under-14 participants of regional training camps ( N = 291) completed a questionnaire survey. Almost all indicated that they h…
Conceptualizing `Fair Play
The notion of `fair play' is generally understood to be important in sport and in life yet it is not clear what precisely it refers to, why it is valued, what ethical principles, if any, it is grounded upon, and what kind of good it involves. The product of this confusion is a lack of consensus in conceptualizing `fair play', which is reflected in a wide range of conceptions offered in the sport philosophical literature. In this paper I offer a c…
The limits of utilitarianism as a professional ethic in public sector leisure policy and provision
In a previous issue of this journal we developed a moral philosophical account of the relations between the paradigmatic leisure profession, leisure management, and it's clientele. Professional status was characterized as a set of relations necessarily involving moral authority and not merely technical expertise as is commonly supposed. In that account, professional paternalism was interpreted and justified differently in relation to the specific…
Paternalism, professionalism and public sector leisure provision
A significant body of research has emerged concerning issues of the professionalization of, and professionalism in, leisure. Much of this literature has focused on the political and/or technical dimensions of the leisure professional and the customers or citizens they purport to serve. In this paper we offer a moral philosophical account of the relations between the paradigmatic leisure profession, leisure management, and its clientele. An accoun…
